Obliged to stop her mouth somehow, and
the best she could expect would be to be
incarcerated and rendered quite powerless.
If only she could manage to communicate

necessary that she should know what was

Will you pleas, inform me what cocaine is,
and what it is used for: Mr.
Cocaine is an alkaloid extracted from the
leaves of the erythroxylon coca, a South
American shrub. The value of the plant as a
nerve stimulant has long been known to the
natives of Peru and Bolivia, where it grows
i'm abundance. Several years ago German
physician discovered that a solution of cocaine
in hydrochloric acid possesses remarkable
powers as u local anesthetic. 1t was first
tried in opthalmic surgery, but has since
been extended to other parts. few drops
placed on any of the delicate nerves of the
eye will paralyze them so that an operation
may be performed without discomfort to the
patient. There is an advantage in this over
chloroform and ether, inasmuch as the CO
caine may be applied to the part and affect it
alone.

Grants FayOrite Horse,

Gen. Grant took great delight in exhibiting
his horses to his friends with whom he was
intimate. Once at his stables, with a friend,
he said:
"Perhaps you would like to see the horse
rode during all the campaigns commanded"
The animal was ordered to be brought out.
The gentleman was surprised to find the
horse no larger than lady's palfrey-small,
slender, agile limbed, black as a coal, intelli-
gent, mild, an eye like hawk, and lick on
the name for all the world like boys cow
lick. 1t was such an animal as women and
children would make into family pet
The gentleman pronounced the animal
beauty, but expressed doubt as to its ell
durance.
"Endurancew said the general. "This ami
NAL exceeds in endurance any horseflesh l
ever saw. have taken him out at daylight
and kept in the saddle till dark, and he

General and Lieutenant General.

General and Lieutenant General.
For what persons were the offices Of general
and lieutenant general created In the United
States army! Il. A.
Tho Office of lieutenant general was created
for Washington, in May, 1903, and abolished
in March, 1899. Washington held the Office
of general from this time till his death, a
period of nine months Gen. Scott was made
brevet lieutenant general in March, 1S47.
The grade Of lieutenant general was revived
by an act of congress, in Feb. 1864, and on
March of the same year the president nomin-
ated Gen. Grant to the position, which
was confirmed at once by the senate. In
July, 1866, congress revived the grade of gen.
eral, and Gen. Grant was appointed. In
July, 1866, congress provided for one general
and one lieutenant general of the army,
when Grant became general Sherman sue
ceeded him as lieutenant general. When Grant
became president Sherman became general,
and Sheridan succeeded Sherman as lieuten-
ant general The Office of general became
extinct with Shermans retirement. Sheri-
dan now commands as lieutenant general.
When he vacates the office it too becomes
extinct

4 Notable Dog.

The picture here given represents trrl y
remarkable dog, the exact breed of which
does not seem to have been satisfactorily de-
cided, though appearances Indicate some re-
lationship to the noble mastif family Leo
for that was his name, belonged to Professor
Mezzeroff, the well known teacher OF scientific
warfare and manufacturer of dynamite
bombs. Leo came originally from Tibet,
weighed 1870 pounds, and when standing in
his favorite position las shown in the cut
held his head three feet high from the ground.
This dog was remarkable not only in appear
ance but character. He was exceedingly
sagacious, and appeared to understand the
human speech as readily as any child. He
was also watchful Of women and children,
and would spring at the throat of any person
who approached them in other than kindly
way
The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1887-01-14
PROFESSOR MEzzEROFF's DOG LEO.

Leo represented breed of dogs native to
the Himalaya mountains. These dogs, owing
to their great strength and unusual sagacity,
are employed both as beasts of burden and
as hunters of game. Fastened to sleCls, like
horses, they draw large loads for the sturdy
mountaneers their masters, who are also in
debted to the dogs for much of the game that
graces their frugal boards.
Leo, who was exceedingly fond of his mas
ter, when he sickened and was about to die,
feeling that some strange fate was in store
for him, sought Professor Mezzeroif and in
true dog language made known his fears.
His master, understanding the pitirul up
peals, took the dog in his arms and tcndcrly
laid him on sofa, where he finally tiotl,
happy and content, because his best friend
was with him. Leos son is now the only dog
of this remarkable breed in the United States.

Poisonous Air in Wells.

What is the cause Of poisonous air in wellss Is
there anything to prevent it? FARMER
1t is carbonc acid gas. Being heavier than
the air it settles to the bottom of the well
where it accumulates. 1t is advisable, be-
fore descending into well, especially an old
one, or one in which there is little water, to
let down a burning candle. II there is car
bonic acid gas in the bottom the candle will
60 out. Then the air ia the well should be
agitated SO as. to drive the impure gas out
and draw in pure air. This is frequently
done by exploding charge Of gunpowder in
the WELL Another method is to lower YES
sci containing burning charcoal. The red
hot Goals will absorb a great deal Of the gas,
and when cooled they may be drawn up, ig-
nited and burned again. Turning stream
of water into the well will also absorb this
gas

THE FLYING SQUIRREL.

These squirrels are enabled to take these
extraordinary leaps, gliding for great dis
lance through the air, by means of fold Of
the skin of the TANKS which extends between
the fore and hind legs. They are also partly
supported by bony processes of the feet.
Then, too, the tail aids to support them in the
air, as we'll as to direct their motion, its hairs
extending laterally, in a sort of feathery cx-
pansion. The flying squirrels inhabit the
woods and night is the time of their activity
They are very easily trained.

Can you inform me if wife can compel her
husband to support her if he is an officer in the
regular army. WIFE
Not through the army. She can only re-
port the matter to his commanding officer.
The paper will so through the proper channel
and the officer will be called ON for an ex-
PLANTATION. II his explanation is not salts
factory, he may be court martialed for con-
duct unbecoming an officer and gentleman,
and il found guilty will be dismissed from
the army. But tho court martial has no
power to compel him to support his wife.
